3:35 might work with arcane legion, also a smaller set. Centaurs looked like ponies next to heroquest.

28mm is 1/64. The math is based on the average male human height of 1800mm. 1800mm / 64 scale, is 28mm. 1/56 = 32mm 1/64 = 28mm 1/72 = 25mm 1/76 = 24mm 1/87 = 21mm The market place likes to create and conflate scales based on a more algorithmic approach for "average height " using a range of averages heights. This is the pretext for including 28mm, with 1/56 and 1/48. The reason 20mm covers 3 scales. Some people do go for larger vehicle scales to offset basing of minis. Personally I do my best to go all 1/72. There are good metal manufacturers that make 1/72 minis too. Then there is 3D printing. The hi res resin printer with new resin formulas are making much more durable products. Future is bright unless only a very small percentage have any disposable income in the future.

You gotta pay the troll toll....

To clean the flashing I use a pin, embedded in putty, heated with a propane flame. The propane flame is sootless. Then run that alo g the flash. Usually still need a knife. To seal the base colors on the minis, and for me, my base washes, I use aryclic floor sealer. It creates a strong, somewhat flexible, coating, that allows for an oil wash, if you like. I also use WWS layering glue on any pointy bits for added strength, before brushed on matte finish. Allow at least 24 hrs for the layering glue to fully cure before any lacquer finish.

For reviewing the entire line, including zombies, go to Plastic Soldier Review, all one word, dot comm. Also, if memory serves 1 72 depot dot comm. 1/72 is mathematically from bottom of foot to top of head is 25mm. It is called 20mm in the market and conflates 20mm, 1/87, 1/76, 1/72, and 25mm into a group. There are ancients to modern to super natural to samurai to medieval to fantasy available in 1/72 (20mm) scale. HO scale (1/87) Rail road trees and bushes work well. For hard terrain there are some building kits, else 3D printing or MDF. I wargame WW2 and Vietnam all in 1/72.

These guys used to be called "Caesar Miniatures" and they sold mostly military wargaming miniatures. However, they had a small fantasy line and you could get like forty goblins or dwarfs or whatever for like fifteen dollars. Shit was awesome.

I love a good miniature and sometimes, even a bad one. A friend of mine and I are thinking about using my He-Man stash for tabletop RPGs ,I may have to move it to the floor and increase the board size. 😊

Ponytaurs

those trolls would be perfect for MESBG

I dont like the small ones but the trolls are really nice

Just had YT recommend this video, consider me subbed! I really like those Trolls, and I'll definitely be checking out the other stuff in the range.

The trolls are to big for the orcs i think but will fit perfekt for halftrolls for the lord of the rings range from gw.

From memory Dark Alliance does make some other larger monster models the same size as the Trolls.

Those trolls would still work well in a game of middle earth strategy battle game, smaller than the gw trolls but still much bigger than 28mm humans etc, I've seen pics of them painted up and they look great.

Good god get some clippers!

I'm constantly surprised 1/72 scale isn't more popular in miniature gaming.

Yes, if they were all scaled to 28mm I would buy some.

You can use the mummies as pigmies. Pigmummies.

If you wanted to scale down some BattleMasters this is a great option.

Look up Plastic Soldier Review. They do reviews of 1/72 plastics, mainly historical that can fill in the gaps for humans.

3rd edition is a masterpiece. every card, every expansion. I am proud to have it. it's the most fun board game I have ever played. i am looking for a beater Talisman that can be played on a normal table.

Brilliant content and congratulations

for their price, this minis are very good. and you can use them just fine for fantasy tabletops, like warhammer. if all players use this minis! playing warhammer with scaled down minis can be very fun. and since all of them are so cheap, building an army is easy. you only need to make some bases for the units, to move them more comfortably.

I've been a fan of 1:72 ever since I bought my 2 whole WOTR armies for like 40EUR. Too bad that Dark Alliance is pretty much the only 1:72 fantasy manufacturer that are easily available for me. There's nothing wrong with them, I love them, but I just wish there were more :) The beauty of 1:72 boxes is that you can get pretty much a whole skirmish game by buying one box of infantry and one box of cavalry for both sides.

Hey I know this manufacturer, they're INCREDIBLY eclectic. I knew them from their historical catalogue and recently discovered that ancient and Napoleonic sets that to my knowledge, no other manufacturer would do, were only the tip of the iceberg. They may not be of the best quality out there and as you mentioned the sprews are very thick and hard to cut through but still interesting to get if you're looking for rare factions/units for affordable price.

Wargs and war trolls are perfect

It is 1/72 scale or 20mm -- best scale :)

This soft plastic gives me the creep since 1998.

Great video, would love to see more like this. Maybe look at some historicals for mercenaries/henchmen? Sure you could find some at victrix/perry minis/wargames atlantic/gripping beast/fireforge or more fantasy like northstar or if you want them really cheap em4 miniatures. Internet friend have made agoblin war band from the orcs, but have not seen them in real life, how do they scale with the hero quest goblins?

I've used this sort of figure before (WW2 and Ancient Romans/Celts). These sorts of figures tend to be cheaper and have good detail for their size. One down side to consider is that the paint tends to flake off them more easily than it would on hard plastic or metal. Wash them before you start (like you would with a resin piece) but even then they'll be prone to paint damage-So be careful with them if you paint them.

Thanks for this Video!

Hello Ash quest Do you have a PO Box address at all? Just wandering if it's possible to send you stuff! Ty

On Amazon they have 15 sets of this company’s historical line for 100

Caesar Miniatures also do a nice range of fantasy in 1/72 I have the orks goblins elves and dwarves would add allot of variance added to the Dark Alliance .

Honestly I'd consider getting some boxes of these and re-basing them as D&D miniatures. Easier to justify the scale since they could be the only thing at the time, and they have a lot of standard fantasy races and monsters in the line. I'd probably have four times what I'd need, but still might be a good deal.

Check out Tehnolog miniatures they are awesome and cross over very well for larger creatures. Love the vids

As for me, I like to watch new and old altenatives of my old time favourite board game. If it is about components or addons, it is great. Thank you for your efforts.

This plastic looks quite soft and it will probably be very difficult to remove the mould lines. If you want to paint your miniatures, definitely go for a better quality miniature. However, if you don’t like painting miniatures, they should work just fine. Don’t forget the cardboard option, though. You can get beautiful cardboard standees for a lower price. They are easier to store as well. So, my suggestion is to either go for decent quality plastic miniatures and paint them or choose well made cardboard standees. Just my five cents. Good luck!

I like how the trolls are straight from Lotr. But the wargs come with no riders?

I can attest to this. They have modern and science fiction themes too. I used the zombies and survivors with gaslands

Gotta be honest, the plastic quality, sculpts, and scaling isn't really for me, it's still not a bad value at all.

Check out the System Oathmark its mini angostic and works great with these minis

Bro I can only find these for 20$ each, and just bought them today lmao

They also look cheap

Is Dark Alliance its own game system?

Only good for US buyers atm, Postage to Australia is insane.

Those orcs look like they’d be good goblins

Red plastic means Hero mini. Now I wanna try the Centaur Hero. Looks like you have a regiment. 😆

For reference: 1/72 = 15-20mm 1/48 = 28mm Not sure what the newest scale difference for most of the miniatures these days which are 32mm Either way cool review for these models, I’ll probably pick up a box or 12 at some point in time lol
